A new build of NSClient++ has been released.\ It is mainly a bug fixes release and fixes most known issues which has surfaced in the last few weeks.\ For those who do not know we have switched to using github for tickets which has been a huge success. I will be deprecating sourceforge hence forth mainly as it is a pain to work with their rather inflexible API:s.

As someone mentioned a while back\ "sourceforge: github for old people"

So I have started to extend the github integration and am now using their release modules for hosting files. You can always find the files here as well but some thins like symbols and what not will be simpler to get from github.

Now to get back to build 131 your probably wondering whats new right?\ And the answer is a lot but I would say the most interesting bit is all the pull-requests I have received on github, a massive thank you!!! to everyone who has helped out:
